Roots ensemble Harlot & the Hounds are gearing up to release their debut album, Fireflies.
The band grew out of Harlot, singer/guitarist Molly Morris and singer/banjo player Ellie Mae Mitchell’s Americana duo project in which they first showcased their remarkable vocal harmonies.
Fleshing out the project, The Hounds are flutist Gwyneth Ravenscraft and trumpet player Gregory Morris, plus Derek Gartiez and Mason Denver-Thomas, percussionists who give the band its rhythms on an array of unique instruments, including washboards, tin cans and djembes.
Harlot & the Hounds were slated to host an album release party on Friday, March 27 at the Southgate House Revival in Newport.
